About This Book

A compact popular natural history and practical guide that surveys humanity's long relationship with the honeybee, beginning with ancient myths and archaeological traces of honey and wax. It blends cultural history and beekeeping lore with accessible science, explaining hive organization and the distinct roles of queen, workers and drones, anatomy, comb construction, and the causes and nature of swarming. Later chapters describe medieval and modern apicultural practices, apiary design and husbandry, and conclude with practical advice and reflections on rural life and the ethical, economic and aesthetic aspects of keeping bees.
